| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> To determine some heavy metal content in honey samples
collected from twenty different villages around Ataturk
Dam in Sanliurfa.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Heavy metal content was determined
from hundred natural liquid honey samples with
graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Lead and Cadmium levels were determined as
0.349±0.147 (0.000-0.642) and 0.003±0.007 (0.000-0.038)
ppm, respectively, Manganese was not detected in honey
samples. From the point of lead and cadmium contents, the
differences between villages were not found statistically
significant (p>0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> When the consumption of the honey produced
in Şanlıurfa is considered, it can be stated that they are
harmless from the point of heavy metal content |
